It'd be easier to create a brand new project and just add the existing source files. Reverse-engineering the existing makefile will be a herculean task.

What I want, is to set as few setting as possible, and crate few additional things /e.g project files/ when migrating to IDE.
In ideal I would like to load makefile, and say-GO!

The IDE probably requires a project to use its own makefiles.
Also keep in mind that going from IDE back to plain make is going to be even harder... a project you've built in an IDE is going to be very hard to alter without it. What functions are you looking for in an IDE? I've found the
Data Display Debugger a very useful adjunct to programming. It gives me all the bits of IDE I actually
want -- debugging with graphical source-code viewing, variable watch, breakpoints, line-by-line stepping and so forth -- without demanding its own build system, forcing you to use any particular editor, or any other arbitrary restriction most IDE's enforce. All it needs is an executable built with debugging information, and the ability to find the relevant source files.
